CHERRY'S POVI come back from work, enter my house and go straight to the dining.I'm so tired and thirsty, I need a drink of something chilled.Walking to the dining, something catches my attention and I walk towards the center table on the living room.There's a file on the table.I look at it, open it carefully, read the contents and i laugh.Even if it's the name of my company that's written on it I won't even ask or pay attention. I'll simply act like I didn't see this.I place the file back on the table, deep down I know who dropped this file here, but I'll act like I don't care, because I don't.Walking to the dinner, I take a glass and get some chilled orange juice from the fridge.Maria immediately comes to my side and telling her to take my bag upstairs, I instruct her to serve me my dinner, cause I'm so damn hungry.She nods and some minutes later, dinner is all served and I munch away hungrily.Hearing some noise from the stairs, I look to see Jayson chatting happily with
JAYSON'S POVMy eyes are closed and I see myself hugging her, planting kisses all over her face and she moans in my ears.I look into her face and all I see is beauty, love and so many unexplainable things. Leaning close i try to kiss her succulent lips, and my alarm rings loudly and I'm forced to open my eyes. It's just a fucking dream, and it's morning already and so fast.Oh shit! I curse loudly, and I remember that I have not even told Cherry again about the meeting. Even though I have decided to lie to the investors, it's not going to be easy and I sigh.Already 7:00 clock am, and having just an hour to get dressed and prepare for work, I go into the bathroom, take a quick shower, clean myself, rub the lotion Jeanne kept that I'm beginning to like, wear my clothes and I'm set to go.Walking to the mirror, I pick my styling gel and comb, and style my stubborn full dark hair and slick it all back.Looking at myself, I conclude that I'm a really handsome guy, who wasted so many ye
JAYSON'S POV (Continued)The drive home is really long and it gives me plenty time, to think of how I'll face Cherry at home, talk to her and other things.Deep down, I know the Cherry from before is still in her, she's just forming hard to get and I totally understand why she's behaving like that, but also I know that she would definitely forgive me one day.We arrive at her mansion, the gate's opening automatically ad my driver drives onto the car garage, parking at a safe side and I alight.Taking a deep breath, and closing my eyes for a long time, I exhale, telling myself that I can do it as I walk inside.She's home already, that I know because I saw her car packed outside when coming in earlier.The house is unerily quiet, and I don't see any of the maids walking around or are they resting.Walking upstairs, I go straight to my room, sit on my bed and take off my clothes and lie down, I lie on my back and look straight at the ceiling.As usual I begin thinking about Cherry, imag
JAYSON'S POV (CONTINUED)"Next Month." I say with a gasp, I'm so going to die of hunger.She smirks and says, "Too bad, rich folks like you don't know how to make their own meals.""Oh, you think, well I'll show you." I reply with a playful frown and she raises her eyebrows at me, and that's when I come to my senses. Oh God! What did I just say? Instead of begging her to cook something or at least assist me, I decided to prove to her I can do something, I know and she also knows too, that I can't.Surprisingly, she stands up and walks towards me and I curse inwardly and ask, "Can you at least help me a little?""No, I can't, I'm sorry." Still deciding to try my luck I become demanding, "Please, just help me out."She looks at me, arms akimbo and starts talking sarcastically again, "Oh, come on, are you scared. You scared of the gas cooker, the pot, the spoon, the plate? huh?"Coming forward and placing her hands on my shoulders, she pushes me forward into the kitchen and positions m
CHERRY’S POV“Jayson!!” I scream and cough out loudly.The whole kitchen is filled with so much smoke, I can’t even see clearly.Oh God! What has he done now? I ask myself. I see him stirring whatever he is frying and I continue coughing, not only from the smoke but from whatever peppery substance he has on the fire.Going out through the kitchen door, I walk to the backyard of the kitchen, opening all the windows, and I come back inside as the smoke gradually disperses and subsides.“Do you plan on killing me today with pepper?” I ask, covering my nose, “No I didn’t mean to, I’m just frying some fresh pepper and onions.”“Some pepper and onions, and you want to blow up everywhere. Let me have that.” I say collecting the spoon from his hand.Going closer to the pan, I quickly pour the tomato paste in the mixture and stir sharply and add a little water.The paste makes the pepper less peppery and I stop coughing.Gosh! I exclaim silently.JAYSON’S POVI stand beside her and watch eve
JAYSON'S POVI'm still in shock at what just happened between me and Cherry.I initially wanted us to play like this, but I never expected it to go this far, and that was why when she hit me on the head, I feigned a little pain and rushed into the kitchen.I need to heal my aching heart.I never knew she could be so much fun, even as she is all grown up.Looking around, I decide to wash the dishes, even though she lost.It's the least I can do in appreciation of the meal she made for me.Smiling I remember when she had come to meet me outside, demanding I come wash the plates.I know she would have been in shock when she saw all this and I just laugh.Arranging everywhere, I wipe the counter clean, clear the trash, and make sure the kitchen is looking sparkly and clean.I came from a home where I was not allowed to do anything, or help anybody but that doesn't mean I don't know my way around a house, definitely I know how to clean, it's just cooking that's my problem.Wiping my hands
CHERRY'S POV (CONTINUED)Its being approximately 30 minutes now, I think as I stare at my wrist watch and I haven't heard a single word from him, so I decide to check.I stand, opening the door slowly, turning the knob and it makes a squeaky noise.Opening it wide, I come to a stand still as his back lands on top my fuzzy slippers current covering my feet.He fell asleep?So quickly? I ask myself, and that's when I notice the empty wine bottle by his side.This explains all the gulpy sounds I heard earlier, and why he's currently sleeping, snoring quietly and adorably and I close his lips as I chuckle, I don't want to wake him up just yet.Bending down, and stretching him well, I look at his face and he looks so innocent and handsome in his sleep, I take my time and mark out his features.His lips are slowly open, some huge lock of his always stubborn hair, I remember currently occupying one part of his handsome face.He opens his eyes slowly and catches me staring and smiles and I fr
CHERRY'S POVThe question he just asked me, echoes over and over in my head a million times."Um....." I don't know what to say, but I begin when suddenly my phone rings, interrupting me.Looking up at him, I raise my hands in excuse and say, "Excuse me." and he just nods.It's Jeanne calling, and I pick it up immediately, "Hey what's up?""Baby girl, how you doing." She asks me, "I'm doing fine and you?" I reply also asking, "I'm great, just wanted to let you know that I'll be coming back soon." She says and I chuckle."You better, you have no idea how I've missed you.""Same here sweetie. So how's Jayson, how are the both of you coping?" She asks me and that's when I remember that I'm still in the room and he's probably listening to my side of the conversation.I look up from my fingers, staring at him and just as I thought he's staring back at me, and feeling embarrassed at being caught I blush uncontrollably, and turn my face so he won't see it."Everything's fine." I say curtly a
